| epithelium of lens | The layer of cuboidal cells lying on the anterior surface of the crystalline lens inside the lens capsule. at the equator the cells elongate and give rise to the lens fibres. Synonym: epithelium lentis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| epithelium of saemicircular duct | The simple squamous epithelium of the saemicircular ducts. Synonym: epithelium ductus saemicircularis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| junctional epithelium | A collar of epthelial cells attached to the tooth surface and subepithelial connective tissue found at the base of the gingival crevice. Synonym: epithelial attachment. (05 Mar 2000) |
| external dental epithelium | External enamel epithelium, the cuboidal cells of the outer layer of the odontogenic organ of a developing tooth. (05 Mar 2000) |
| keratinising epithelium | <cell biology> An epithelium such as vertebrate epidermis in which a keratin rich layer is formed from intracellular cytokeratins as the outermost cells die. (18 Nov 1997) |
| laminated epithelium | <pathology> An epithelium composed of multiple layers of cells, only the basal layer being in contact with the basal lamina. The basal layer is of stem cells that divide to produce the cells of the upper layers, in skin, these become heavily keratinised before dying and being shed as squames. Stratified epithelia usually have a mechanical or protective role. (18 Nov 1997) |
| lining epithelium | An epithelium lining a duct, cavity or vessel, that is not particularly specialised for secretion or as a mechanical barrier. Not a precise classification. (18 Nov 1997) |
| ampulla ductus deferentis | The dilation of the ductus deferens where it approaches its contralateral partner just before it is joined by the duct of the seminal vesicle. Synonym: ampulla ductus deferentis, Henle's ampulla. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ampulla ductus lacrimalis | Incorrect term for ampulla of lacrimal canaliculus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ampulla of ductus deferens | The dilation of the ductus deferens where it approaches its contralateral partner just before it is joined by the duct of the seminal vesicle. Synonym: ampulla ductus deferentis, Henle's ampulla. (05 Mar 2000) |
| arcus ductus thoracici | See: thoracic duct. (05 Mar 2000) |
| arteria ductus deferentis | Origin, anterior division of internal iliac, or sometimes superior vesical; distribution, ductus deferens, seminal vesicles, testicle, ureter; anastomoses, testicular, cremasteric arteries. Synonym: arteria ductus deferentis, arteria deferentialis, deferential artery. (05 Mar 2000) |
| artery of ductus deferens | Origin, anterior division of internal iliac, or sometimes superior vesical; distribution, ductus deferens, seminal vesicles, testicle, ureter; anastomoses, testicular, cremasteric arteries. Synonym: arteria ductus deferentis, arteria deferentialis, deferential artery. (05 Mar 2000) |
